The absence of a femoral lever arm complicates reduction, often requiring open techniques. While posterior approaches are traditional for posterior dislocations, they risk further compromising the femoral head's blood supply in pediatric patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report a 10-year-old boy who sustained a high-energy injury leading to posterior dislocation of the right hip and an ipsilateral displaced femoral shaft fracture. Treatment involved open reduction via the anterior Smith-Petersen (S-P) approach to safeguard posterior vascularity, combined with lateral plating of the femur. At 18-month follow-up, the patient achieved full weight-bearing, complete range of motion, solid femoral union, a congruent hip joint, and no evidence of avascular necrosis (AVN) or leg-length discrepancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In pediatric cases of this complex injury, anterior open reduction paired with rigid femoral fixation offers a safe and effective option. It enables anatomic reduction while potentially reducing iatrogenic damage to the medial circumflex femoral artery, thereby lowering AVN risk, which can increase over fivefold with delays beyond 12\u2005h.<\/jats:p>\n
